What things cost in Sydney

Prices in Sydney spread far wider than any single "from" figure suggests, and 92% of the catalogue can be cancelled free of charge. So the useful question is not what the cheapest ticket costs, but which band buys which kind of day.

That median sits 19% below Australia's, so Sydney is one of the cheaper places in the country to actually do things.

The median experience in Sydney is €96, against €118 across Australia. The cheapest paid option we track in Sydney is €22.

How far ahead should I book in Sydney?
